Ubuntu – Gnome theme install launcher

gnomethemes

I'm trying to install this theme so that it looks like the screenshot: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1171688/

The theme has a launcher at the bottom and custom icons to go with it. When I install the themes I get different looking dialogs, but not the custom launcher nor the icons. Any idea how to get these? Also the folder color in the theme is blue, but for me they are still yellow …

Your claim that

The theme has a launcher at the bottom and custom icons to go with it.

is wrong. GNOME theme include only the gtk themes. The screenshot may include some other programs which may not be part of the theme. For example, the background image also isn't part of the theme.

But if you want to have the icon theme and the launcher, you can follow the steps:

Icon theme

Add the ppa ppa:noobslab/macbuntu and install the macbuntu-os-icons-lts-v7 package

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:noobslab/macbuntu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install macbuntu-os-icons-lts-v7

I've known from your other question that you're using Zesty, and you needed to use yakkety release on the ppa source file. So, in that case, you should be able to install macbuntu-os-icons-lts-v8 icon instead.

Launcher

The launcher is plank. Install it with this command

sudo apt-get install plank

Install the specific plank theme using this command

sudo apt-get install macbuntu-os-plank-theme-lts-v7

You should be able to use the icon theme and configure plank with the specific theme now.

(Same here too. You should be able to install macbuntu-os-plank-theme-lts-v8 following the advice on your other answer. If you do so, you can have very identical configuration as the screenshot of the theme)
